    Write the Inequality

    A number b times -16 is greater than 5.

    A number b is a variable… b.

    Times means multiply.

    -16 is what you are multiplying b by.

    Is greater than means the greater than symbol.

    5 is what the past statements are greater than.

    So this is the inequality.

    -16b > 5

    Solve the Inequality

    You need to isolate b.

    To do this, divide each side by -16. You do this because b is being multiplied by -16. You know that any number divided by that number equals 1, canceling the number.

    -16b ÷ -16 = b

    5 ÷ -16 = -5/16

    So you get b > -5/16

    So to make the inequality true, b must be more than -5/16.

    Or as an inequality…

    b > -5/16
